If you were looking on from another planet it would appear that all of western society is offering itself as a willing sacrifice to Islam, not just ancient history.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyesAnd clever in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21 NASB

More is being lost in this "Arab Spring". During the riots that started it all, the Cairo Museum was looted, and many artifacts of Egypt's history were stolen or destroyed. The new Pharaoh's muslim brotherhood has vowed to "remove all symbols of idol worship". Translated, that means destroying the pyramids, the Sphinx, and whatever hasn't already been lost.

A sad time. Remember the destruction of the Buddha statues in Afghanistan by the fundamentalist muslims?

It's a good thing that the British and other explorers took so much out of those countries in the past, and filled museums all over the western world with Egyptian artifacts. The Met in NYC has a pretty awesome collection. Even the DIA has a mummy and a couple of Bast statues.

Has he come out in support of Morsi or has he come out in support of those who are now rioting against Morsi for this power grab. What will our president do? What signal will he send to the world that is watching? What leadership will he provide to the international community?

Any word from Fredo yet? Does he support the opposition or Morsi? What is the US position? What message are we sending to the world? Other than saying "violence is bad m'kay", what leadership has Fredo shown on this?

None.

The US position is that they should have a "dialogue," which is like calling for a dialogue between a rape victim and her assailant.
